Buckfield voters will be asked to approve the potential sale or lease of the Old Church on the Hill when they go to the polls June 10 for the annual town meeting.

The last article on the warrant asks if voters will allow the Select Board to sell or lease the property “to an individual, nonprofit organization or other group under the conditions that the building will be substantially stabilized and repaired and the exterior appearance of the building will remain similar to its original design.”

Residents will also vote on the Regional School Unit 10 budget. Polls are open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Buckfield Municipal Center.

The $21.27 million proposed budget is 3.2% more than last year’s $20.6 million.

OXFORD HILLS SCHOOL DISTRICT

Voters in Paris, Oxford, Norway, West Paris, Waterford, Hebron, Harrison and Otisfield will weigh in Tuesday on a $54.4 million school budget.

For the fiscal year starting July 1, School Administrative District 17 operational expenses are projected to increase 7.9%, in large part to increasing hard costs and educator wage increases, but also due to a drop of more than $1 million in state funding.

District administrators and the school board’s budget committee put forth the $54.4 million budget after cutting $3 million in operations and staffing.

Fifteen positions have been eliminated and $200,000 was taken from special education. Expenses in systems technology spending will be reduced by $139,000 by cutting staff hours and updating less network cabling in the high school than planned.

Another $1.4 million was cut from the facilities maintenance plan to replace all building windows next year. Instead, the work will be carried out over a period of three years and prioritizing those in the worst condition first.

And $400,000 in operations will be saved by closing Waterford Memorial School and transferring 76 Waterford and Harrison students from preK through second grade to Harrison Elementary School.

PARIS

In Paris, seven people are seeking to fill two seats on the Select Board during annual elections June 10.
Longtime members Peter Kilgore and Christopher Summers are not running for reelection.

Candidates for selectman include Stephen Cronce, a former member of the Norway Police Department, James Labbe, who worked for the Paris Police Department.

Others are: Planning Board member Roland Hebert, Budget Committee member Patricia O’Brien, Ronald Ramsey III, who lost a 2023 bid to serve on the Maine School Administrative District 17 board, Tara O’Leary, and Robert Ripley.

Voting takes place 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Paris Fire Station.

The two candidates receiving the most votes will serve three-year terms.

Also, Paris voters at the June 16 annual town meeting will weigh in on whether the town should spend nearly $50,000 to replace the boilers at the Fire Station.
